Charity Shop And Vinted Finds Summer Edition
Summer is always a time when we want to add new additions to our wardrobes, particularly if we are taking a Summer holiday somewhere nice and hot. Charity Shops and the Vinted marketplace prove that you do not need to spend a fortune on a new wardrobe, whatever the occasion or the season, but that you can pick up affordable bargains that can be blended into pieces you already have in your wardrobe. Summer is also a great time to pick up pieces that you can wear in Autumn, planning ahead in order to get ahead. Of course, as July proved, you may already be wearing these pieces as the…

Acorns Wednesbury Has a Whole New Look
One of my favourite charity shops has been given a brand new look. Acorns, Wednesbury, which raises much needed funds for the Acorns Children’s Hospices, is one of the biggest shops within the company, and now, thanks to a refurbishment, it has even more space for a wide range of clothes, accessories and home wares. I popped by last week to take a look at the new look and was seriously impressed. The shop feels so spacious, and with it’s bright lighting and clean lines, it is literally a pleasure to shop there. All the items on sale have been carefully curated – books are in perfect condition with no…

Charity Shop, Vintage And Vinted Buys Early 2023
I have to be honest and say that this is a post I wanted to write early in 2023, but a combination of it being very cold, and just wanting to hibernate, and then being quite poorly in early February meant that I didn’t really venture out that much to look around the charity shops, but when I did go out, there were actually some great pickings out there, including designer pieces, vintage, and some great knitwear. Below are some of the things that I have found this month in my local charity shops, and also some pieces that I had previously found in charity shops, but not yet worn…

Helpful Storage Solutions For Your Home
It’s that time again, when we start to talk about giving the house a spring clean. Spring is the perfect time to have a declutter. Christmas is now a distant memory again, and with the weather finally starting to warm up, you can get those windows open to clear away the cobwebs, can finally get some washing on the line to dry and can welcome the new season with an ‘old with the old, in with the new’ attitude. Before you get on to the sorting, you first of all need to get rid of as much rubbish as you can. You may find you have a lot more stuff…

Charity Shop, Vinted and Vintage Finds
It’s been quite a while since I did a post about my charity shop, Vinted and vintage buys, so here we are, with a few car boot sale finds thrown in for good measure. Autumn is a time when Charity shops, much like all regular High Street stores, change their ranges for warmer items, so this is a great time to pick up a new coat, knit jumpers and winter boots at bargain prices. In addition, with Christmas on it’s way, there are chances to grab party wear, with most Charity shops having a rail dedicated to Christmas party wear, including all things sequins and velvet, as well as pretty…
